Ibersol goes from profit to small loss in the first half. Sales grow 5.4%

Eco14 September 2026 at 19:27

Ibersol recorded losses of 54.78 thousand euros in the first six months of this year, a reversal from the profits of 1.6 million euros it had reported in the same period of 2025. However, the turnover of the northern restaurant group increased 5.4% to 260 million euros.

The turnover growth was driven by a 6% increase in restaurant sales, with positive contributions from the ten new KFC restaurants in Galicia, for which Ibersol paid six million euros. This growth was partially offset by a 1.6% decline resulting from the end of the former concession at Barcelona airport, in May, and the start of the new one.

At the unit level, the group had a total of 556 spaces at the end of the first half, having opened 14 new restaurants and closed 20 during this period. Operating costs increased by 4.6%, reaching 251.1 million euros, which allowed Ibersol to see its operating results improve by 32.5%, going from 6.7 million to 8.9 million euros.

Why this matters

Ibersol is a significant employer in the restaurant sector in northern Portugal, and its financial performance affects local employment and investment decisions. The shift from profit to loss, despite sales growth, signals pressure from rising operating costs in the sector.
